Hero Girl Protests Her High School's Sexist Dress Code In The Best Way Possible

Shorts are just practical, okay?!

It seems like there's a new dress code controversy every day, from the prom dress that got a girl kicked out of prom because it showed her back, or the five-year-old girl who was told her sundress was inappropriate. Well, one girl decided to protest her private high school's sexist dress code in a simple, yet powerful way.

The high school student posted signs all over her school, stating the number one issue many of the female students have with the dress code —that it unfairly prohibits female students from wearing practical clothes. "As the summer months approach, please remember: Girls wear shorts to stay cool when hot, not for you. We are 17 years old, stop sexualizing our bodies. If my shorts make you uncomfortable, YOU are the problem."

Even though the signs were super simple, the picture has really resonated with other girls who feel unfairly scrutinized by the dress codes at their schools. The picture, which was anonymously posted on Imgur on Monday, has already gotten nearly 30,000 views, and hopefully, it can encourage schools to rethink gender-biased dress codes that unfairly target female students and shame their bodies.

What do you think of this private school student's actions against her school's dress code?
